A member asked:
What would cause a low pulse rate on an elderly person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Medications are a common cause. Electrical problems are another. An ekg and discussion with your doc is definitely warranted. A low pulse associated with symptoms of low cardiac output or a pulse below 30 require immediate attention.
